Baby boy for actress Elizabeth Banks.

Actress Elizabeth Banks has something else to be grateful for this Thanksgiving - she and her husband have welcomed their second child.

Banks, who recently starred in the comedy What To Expect When You're Expecting, announced on her website the arrival of Magnus Mitchell Handelman, who was born via a surrogate.

The new baby joins his older brother, 20-month-old Felix, who was also born via a surrogate after the 38-year-old star of The Hunger Games and her producer husband Max Handelman faced infertility issues.

The new mother said: "I now turn my attention to managing two boys under 2. For which I am thankful. And all their poop. For which I am less thankful."
